avoid ooddity: invoke intended function instead of java.awt.Container.invalidate();

(*  Title:      Pure/Concurrent/event_timer.ML
    Author:     Makarius

Initiate event after given point in time.

Note: events are run as synchronized action within a dedicated thread
and should finish quickly without further ado.
